I love the whistle-synth intro, it's so original. Reminds me of Goldfrapp in Lovely Head, or the Knife in a certain edit of Marble House- only Prince did it decades before them

Well, Jonathan Melvoin did, really.

HamsterHuey said:

Oh. He died, didn't he?

Prince takes posthumous credit?

Or was it David Coleman? I always mix them up. Lemme check.

HamsterHuey said:

I always thought it was David Coleman(Lisa's brother) that did that album, he let David have the recording studio for one night for his birthday (I read).that is why when David passed away he dedicated "Sometimes It Snows In April" to him at a concert one night.

No, I think he's right.

Oops, I meant David Coleman. He got some studio hours of Prince for his birthday or something and he recorded the song.

Prince re-recorded his own version for the album.

underthegraffitibridge said:

Yes he also passed away.

David Coleman also died? I missed that.

toots said:

Talented musicians are overrepresented in premature deaths.

underthegraffitibridge said:

Sorry but he isnt right!It WAS David Coleman.

HamsterHuey said:

yeah he did die a few years back.He passed away from a enlarged heart( I read)

That's sad.

HamsterHuey said:

Yes very

toots said:

Oh sorry, I thought we were saying one or the other worked on ATWIAD, I didn't know both of them did.

underthegraffitibridge said:

NO it was ONLY David as far as I know.

This is already the messiest thread. Sorry about that.

-Wikipedia
[Jonathan Melvoin] performed with many punk bands in the '80s such as The Dickies, and also made musical contributions to many of Wendy & Lisa projects, as well as Prince and the Revolution's album Around the World in a Day.

Around the world in a day is one of my favorite albums.

HamsterHuey said:

IS okay never what the internet does these days huh? lol

Dayclear said:

I just got it yesterday

It's really growing on me, I didn't like it that much on the first listen. I'm up to America right now

Wow, just having ATWIAD for one day. I envy you; with all the b-sides and extended versions that was one of the most exciting periods to be a Prince fan...

You might wanna take a look at this

http://www.housequake.com...orldinaday

It has MORE detail then wikipedia and more accurate. And this album is VERY old, it wa sout when I was a kid( I owned it myself). it goes on to say The song ATWIAD IS written by David Coleman but said very little about Jonathan he did a few vocals and tamborine that is all it says otehr then that David played a MAJOR role in the making of this album.
